Physiological and molecular responses of lobe coral indicate nearshore adaptations to anthropogenic stressors

Abstract Corals in nearshore marine environments are increasingly exposed to reduced water quality, which is the primary local threat to Hawaiian coral reefs. It is unclear if corals surviving in such conditions have adapted to withstand sedimentation, pollutants, and other environmental stressors....
